I am flying to the UK next month and I got a return flight for 40 euro! The cheapest to NYC is definatley Aer Lingus, going on January 28 and returning on February 2 for 368.26 euro.

Ooo, I'm feeling a meet-up. What we need to do is get a list of everyone who is coming. I think a HA reunion is in the works, for sure!

I really wanna go, but i'll be in NY earlier that month, and can't justify going twice in one month. (I live in London, btw).
Just waiting for them to come to mainland Europe - next year hopefully?!

At this point I am 99 per cent sure I am going! Won't be booking flights until I get tickets for the gig. I really hope there won't be a problem getting tickets for the show! Does anyone know the capacity of MSG?

Quote from Wikipedia regarding capacity: "Seating Seating in the present Madison Square Garden is arranged in six ascending levels. The first level, available for basketball games and concerts, but not for hockey games, is the "floor" or "court-side" seating. Next above this is the loge seating, followed by the 100-level and 200-level promenades, the 300-level promenade, and the 400-level or mezzanine. The seats of these levels originally bore the colors red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, respectively. For hockey, the Garden seats 18,200; for basketball, 19,763; and for concerts 20,000 center stage, 19,522 end-stage. The arena features 20,976 square feet (1949 m²) of arena floor space. Because all of the seats, except the 400 level, are in one monolithic grandstand, distance from the arena floor is significant from the ends of the arena. Also, the rows rise much more gradually than other North American arenas, which can cause impaired sightlines, especially when sitting behind tall spectators or one of the concourses." Hope that helps you.

Hope that helps you. Awh thanks a million! I presume if I hover online at the time the tickets go on sale I'll get them. After all there is a 20,000 capacity for concerts! Have you decided if you are going?
